groom’s nieces, Miss Adele Muriel Chapman and Miss Edwina Irene Chapman, the bride’s nieces, and pageboy Kirk George David Kenyon, the bride’s nephew. The bridesmaids wore

THE pageantry o f the May Queen F e s t iv a l


ensured a hive of activity in Slaidburn on Monday.


A special service was


fo l low ed by the May Queen procession, sports


day and festivities on the field at Duckmire Farm. The afternoon began


with a service in the par­ ish church conducted by the Rector of Slaidburn, the Rev. Brian Darby- shire, with guest preacher the Rev. G. Walker, Vicar of Hellifield and Rural Dean of Bowland. Mr Richard King-Wil-


kinson provided New Tes­ taments for children leav­ ing primary schools for secondary schools this year. Recipients were Claire Slinger and William Robinson (Slaidburn),


Rebecca Kapp and Renata Wosniack (Dunsop Bridge)


and Claire Tomlinson (Lane Ends).


Outside the church, flor­


ins were presented to each child by Mr John King- Wilkinson, before the entire congregation, led by the clergy and Slaidburn Silver Band, processed through the village to The Brooklets, Mr John King- Wilkinson’s home; Rock House, the home of Mr Richard King-Wilkinson; and the memorial, where f low e rs w e re le f t by queen-elect Gayle Dixon.


On the field the crown­


ing ceremony was carried out by Mrs E. Taylor, of Blue Butts, N ewton. R et iring queen Emma Cowking handed over to


the new queen, whose retinue included crown bearer Anna Weisters, sword bearer David Elms, train bearers Kathryn Lewis and Gemma Taylor and attendants Mary Weisters, Eleanor Robin­ son, Zoe Parkinson, Paula Dixon, Hannah Capstiek, Emma Ashworth and Amy Pinder.


Attractions on the field


included an open fancy dress parade, Morris dancing by Longridge Rosettes, an ATC compe­ tition, races for children and adults, sideshows and musical interludes by Slaidburn Silver Band.

Dark Ages come alive at Sawley


The grounds of Savvley Abbey will be the set­ ting for a unique medieval drama this weekend.


The Marcher Lords, a


semi-professional group of entertainers, plan to bring history alive for the whole family, with a demonstra­ tion of how men defended their faith in less enlight­ ened times. There will be bowmen


and swordsmen, expo­ nents of the ball and chain and damsels in distress. Completing the picture


will be a knight on horse­ back in full armour, who will tilt his lance at the enemy and demonstrate the technique of charging. Not to be forgotten are


the English archers, who will let loose with-a flurry of arrows, recalling the skill that later was to win the day so convincingly at Agincourt. Men trained hard all


over the country at places like Sawley Abbey and the


three-hour re-enactment, in full costume, will illus­ trate some of the skills picked up by the Crusad­ ers on their travels. On a lighter note, the


ladies will sing songs and play music of the age on medieval instruments. The programme is enti­


tled “Strife at the monas­ tery” and there will be two separate performanceson


Saturday and Sunday, starting at 2-30 p.m. The show has been organised by Engish Heritage, which owns the abbey grounds. A similar production at

Peaceful lanes worth preserving


CHIPPING residents and visitors should take careful note of the size and character of the proposed tour­ ist development at Saddle End Farm, a scheme at present under consideration by the Ribble Valley Council’s Planning


Committee. I f it is approved, then it


will alter for ever the peaceful character of the narrow approach lanes, through the Chairworks, past the duck pond and Tweedy’s, or through Old


letters to the editor


Hive, Saunder and Wolfen Mill. It will no longer be a


pleasure to stroll along these leafy lanes with the children, the pram and the dog, nor to ride a pony towards the bridlepath over Ginney Hey. You will have to dodge the traffic. This scheme for Saddle


End is not a simple matter of the farmer talking to school parties or offering l igh t refreshments to passing walkers. It would


Wonderful day


MAY I offer my congratulations to the president and members o f Clithcroc Chamber o f Trade, the Lions, Round Table and Rotaract, for providing a won­ derful day out on the Castle Field on Bank Holiday Monday. The sun shone (most o f the time!), there was


entertainment for young and old, the Castle grounds were beautiful, the Town Criers were a delight to see in their elaborate costumes — and the icing on the cake was lots o f money raised for charity. Well done, all o f you.


COUN. MRS MYRA CLEGG, Chairman, Recreation and Leisure Committee, Ribblc Valley Council.


Where do we


find cash for ‘unfair’ tax?


I should like to reply to the letter from the Ribble Valley MP in your issue of May 19th.


The people who will pay'


the most, in relation to th e ir income, w i l l be myself and several millions like me who are old age pensioners and who have a pension, no matter how small, from previous employment.


Because of this pension,


we are excluded from all the benefits of the welfare. I know; I have tried to get some of them. My own rates will go up


from £180 per annum to over £400 and there are many others in my small village who will suffer


likewise. Multiplied across the


country this means there must be millions who will find an increase of any­ thing up to 400% in their rates and no rebates. Pay


up or else. Where does Mr Wad-


dington suggest we get the money from? Cut out food? Cut out heating fuel? Or simply commit suicide


and relieve him and his megalomaniac boss from a s l igh tly embarrassing problem? I have been a lifelong


T o r y ; but enough is enough. At 75 years of age I had hoped to spend my final years in at least modest c om fo r t ; but instead I and all the others in like position are to be driven into penury and despair by the most diabo­ lical and unfair tax ever to be imp o s e d by any government. I n ci dent a ll y , what


makes Mr Waddington think that the local bureaucrats don’ t have access to particulars of people’s income. They do.

be a commercial tourist spot which would have to show a profit. There would be a shop, classroom, toi­ lets, refreshments etc., and car parks for 50 cars. North Wes t Water,


which could soon be priva­ tised, owns the farm and has given its approval. The size of the car parks


has not been known until very late in the planning process. It has certainly not been publicised or dis­ cussed in Chipping. Even the Parish Council was given no information about parking for 50 cars. Traffic would greatly


increase. It would become a permanent problem because the enterprise would be advertised to encourage trade. It would affect Chipping


village and all the narrow hi l ly approach lanes, where two cars can barely pass each other. On a busy day, assuming each car stays two hours, there would be one car passing by a pedestrian eve ry minute, quite apart from other traffic. Chipping Parish Council


was aware of the access problem. Unfortunately it


sent only six words of comment to the planning office. “No objection, pro­ vided access is improved.” What did that imply?


Ro a d widening and removal o f hedgerows? The planners seem to be unaware that this peaceful walking country, with its varie ty o f hedges and flowers, is a recreational asset for locals and visitors alike, worth preserving for its own sake. All the other lanes approaching Chip­ ping have more traffic. The Ribble Valley Plan­


ning Committee is to make a site visit soon. Its chief concern is the siting and screening of the car parks. It could make a final deci­ sion on the development at its next meeting on June 14th. I f you think this scheme


is artificial and inappro­ priate in this quiet corner of Chipping, and i f you don’t want your favourite walks ruined, then you will have to act quickly. At this late stage it is


necessary to contact mem­ bers of the Ribble Valley Pl anni ng Commi t t e e directly. Their names can be obtained from the Rib­ ble Valley Council Office.
